Video Matters 24.09.2015 - 25.09.2015

A Conference by the research project Video Archive

As part of the research project “Video Archive” – funded by the
Volkswagen Foundation – the Ludwig Forum Aachen will host the
conference “Video Matters” on September 24 and 25, 2015. The “Video
Archive” project is devoted to the scholarly reappraisal and
presentation of the Ludwig Forum’s historical video collection.
Together with colleagues from Europe and the USA, we would like to
open up an interdisciplinary round of discussions and compare
experiences about the specific requirements for archiving, preserving,
collecting and presenting time-based media in the course of
technological obsolescence and technical developments. In addition,
the Ludwig Forum will host “Archiving Media Art: Politics and
Strategies”, the 4th public round table of GAMA (The Gateway to
Archives of Media Art), an international knowledge and project sharing
group on media archiving.
